The United Kingdom (UK) Antarctic Heritage Trust wants to find five people to work at the “Penguin Post Office” in Port Lockroy, Antarctica. They need a group head, a shop manager, and three helpers. The work lasts for five months, from November 2024 to March 2025, and is for healthy UK residents (居民) over 18 years old.
英国南极遗产信托基金会希望找到五个人在南极洲洛克罗伊港的“企鹅邮局”工作。他们需要一名基地负责人、一名商店经理和三名总助理。这项工作为期五个月，从2024年11月到2025年3月，面向18岁以上的健康英国居民。
Workers need to deal with over 80,000 letters and postcards sent by the 18,000 tourists who visit the post office each summer. They will also help sell stamps, run the gift shop, and take care of the old building. But their main task is to watch over Port Lockroy’s about 1,500 penguins.
工作人员们需要处理每年夏天前往邮局的18000名游客发送的80000多封信件和明信片。他们还将帮助出售邮票，经营礼品店，并维护老建筑。但他们的主要任务是照看洛克罗伊港大约1500只企鹅。
For those who want to apply for the jobs, it’s important to know that the condition is △ . Even in summer, temperatures can drop to as low as -5℃. All the five workers will live in one room with a very small kitchen. There’s no flushing toilet; instead, they will use a camping toilet that needs to be cleaned every day.
对于那些想申请工作的人来说，重要的是要知道条件是△ . 即使在夏天，气温也可能降至-5摄氏度。所有五个工作人员将住在一个房间里，房间里有一个很小的厨房。没有抽水马桶；相反，他们将使用一个需要每天清洁的露营厕所。
There’s almost no phone and Internet. And there is no running water. Ships bring water in cans and offer showers every few days. But bad weather might mean no showers for a while. If someone gets sick, it could take up to a week to get them to the closest hospital in Argentina. And they’ll have to deal with the smell of penguin poop (大便) for five months!
这里几乎没有电话和互联网。而且没有自来水。船上的水装在罐子里，每隔几天提供一次淋浴。但恶劣的天气可能意味着一段时间内不能洗澡。如果有人生病，可能需要长达一周的时间才能将他们送到阿根廷最近的医院。他们将不得不在五个月内处理企鹅粪便的气味！
Even though there are many challenges, the jobs, which open up every summer, receive thousands of applications (申请) each year. Camilla Nichol, the Trust’s CEO, says it’s no surprise. She believes that the jobs allow people to experience amazing nature where important findings have been made about our planet.
尽管存在许多挑战，但这些工作每年夏天都会开放，每年都会收到数千份申请。信托基金会首席执行官卡米拉·尼科尔表示，这并不奇怪。她认为，这些工作让人们能够体验到令人惊叹的大自然，在那里我们的星球已经有了重要的发现。
